Show Ribbon in SP 2010

Question

I would like to provide a link on a report page to display the ribbon to the user. I have a custom master page and the ribbon is typically hidden. SInce the ribbon is unselectable, no CSS works to display it. I have put a content editor
webpart on the page with css for all the ribbon id's and classes but nothing seems to work. I know it will work in FireFox but IE has alot of controls built in so people cannot override MS values and properties.
Has anyone successfully been able to display or hide the ribbon? The unselectable attribute cannot be overridden when it's in code that MS publishes. Only other non-MS developers unselectable attribute can be overridden.
